My understanding is that they place a 45 degrees sloped piece of wood underneath and then they slide the plane on the wood until the result is achieved.
You can see it done at 6:30 in this video: http://youtu.be/Q6xP9ShD4rkWhat type of plane can achieve this?

I’m guessing you’re asking what type of western plane could do this?
If so, any type of rabbet plane could do this – something where the blade goes right to the edge.--
MattThanks, yes, that’s what I meant π
And thanks to you I also found the Japanese name: kiwa kanna (ιι). For example: http://www2.odn.ne.jp/mandaraya/tachimori-kiw30.htmlIf you look at the instructional videos Paul has hes one where he shows using a tapering jig to plane pieces to the same dimension. The principle used with the tapering jig is the same as the 45 used in the video.
Interesting… I just watched the great video where Paul teaches how to make a rebate plane π now onto looking for the one you mentioned π
Popular Woodworking has a small description of the method. The author used a paring chisel and a shoulder plane.

There’s a video of Kaare Loftheim at Colonial Williamsburg showing the method of creating the secret dovetail like that. He uses a saw and a chisel. Fun to watch.

Denver, ColoradoThanks! The video above though is missing one miter. This other video I found builds exactly what I was looking for:
